What is the point of folding your clothes if they just wrinkle anyway? I may as well have just crumpled this shirt into a ball before putting it in the drawer.

Good to see I’m being unfollowed because people are confusing me with someone who stole my handle name and is asking for money. I do this for free to be NICE.

Okay it may seem bad that Meta appropriated the entirety of the written word without compensating or even consulting with any writers, but consider what the world got out of it: a thing you accidentally tap in Instagram

I have the short version:
Mary Sue originally meant "obvious author self-insert in fan fiction, respected and adored by established characters to a humorous degree"
Now it means "any woman who displays 1/5 of the abilities James Bond regularly displays."
Get it? Got it? Good.

Exactly. Don’t let this 90-day “save” lull us back to sleep. Keep diversifying your writing/author content.
Remember: it's a 90-day extension which, under the current law, requires a sale. So either:
-a deal gets brokered that looks more or less like what we have now
-a deal gets brokered that looks terrifyingly different
-congress changes the law
-TikTok goes away after 90 days
-a deal gets brokered that looks more or less like what we have now

What are some of my favorite ways to listen to #audiobooks ? I'm so glad you asked. Hoopla is awesome because I use my library card and supporting local libraries is coolio! Libro.fm allows DRM free downloads so you can KEEP your audiobooks and a portion of sales go to indie bookstores. 1)
Buy audiobooks & support local bookstores
Libro.fm makes it possible for you to buy audiobooks directly through local bookstores.

So, tiktok is back in the US. Cool. But let's not get complacent. The government is not on our side, and we need to keep the same energy we had yesterday going forward into midterm elections. Remind congress that they're supposed to work for us.

What’s the difference between a gov controlling an algorithm, silently eliminating reach for things it doesn’t like, vs the same gov using its power, to demand that the platform remove the things it doesn’t like.?
In China they are overt. With TikTok in the US, they control silently

My 7 year old just turned on The Fox and the Hound, not believing me when I said it's sad. He's about to traumatize himself, and there's nothing I can do about it. 😅

I'm seriously a mess over losing tiktok. Feeling both sad and angry. Joining booktok changed my life. I never, ever would have had the courage to publish #TheSanguineQueen if it weren't for the friends I made there.

Every person in our government who owns Meta stock and voted to ban TikTok should be fired and arrested for insider trading just like Martha Stewart was.
